PrehistoriCraft is a Minecraft mod that aims for realistic and accurate prehistoric animals that will be found in their prehistoric, natural habitats. You will be able to enter these time periods via a multiblock portal structure (much like the television series Prehistoric park, something this mod's concept is based on) and you'll be able to bring these animals with you, to the present to save them from extinction and give them a second chance at life.

Outside of the wide variety of accurate and realistic animals the mod also adds some things into your present overworld, like the remains and traces of the wonderful animals that time has left behind, or those that time has kept with it since they evolved on our green planet.

The mod also aims for you to take care of the animals you bring back, requiring you to research what they eat, and bring back their required food, cure their illnesses, and make sure they're healthy and happy in their environment in the modern world. Of course, you could just explore prehistory, and document your findings on the great beasts of the past to share with friends. Or just have fun and play the mod in any way you want.

FAQ (Frequently asked questions):

Here, you will find some of the most frequently asked questions:

What dinosaurs will you be adding next?/Can you add {dinosaur}?

-> Our team has dinosaurs planned for the next 3 - 4 updates from now. So at this point in time, we are looking for no suggestions of dinosaurs. Plus, unlike other prehistoric mods, we aren't just adding random dinosaurs from whatever time period we want. We are adding in 8 dinosaurs from each fossil formation we chose to do. So please do not ask us if we are adding T. rex or other well-known dinosaurs. A list of dinosaurs being added can be found in the "Changelog" spoiler.

When will a full release come out?

-> We cannot guarantee a FULL release date for the mod, though we try to release, pre-releases of the mod as often as we can. These pre-releases, however, are not survival mode ready, they are only there to show you some of the dinosaurs. Plus, if you know it or not, the portal and all its required equipment are being added slowly over the next few updates until there is a final push for the full release.

Why does my game crash on startup?

-> Before you even think of asking this question please check that you have the required forge and llibrary version (check the "Installation Instructions" above). If everything is up to scratch, feel free to leave a comment on this forum with the crash log. Though, please put the crash log in a spoiler or in a paste bin and attach the link.

I found a bug, where do I report it?
-> If you find a bug/glitch/crash anywhere through the mod please leave a comment with as much information as you can give me. For example, if the game crashes when planting a seed (It won't, this is just an example, however) then tell me how the crash was caused.

How often do you work on the mod?
-> I work as often as I can on the mod. Though going through my final year of school, it's getting much harder, requiring much more attention from my personal home time. That combined with my job and constant work on my game, time is limited. And after the official v1.0.0 release the amount of time I spend on this mod will decrease dramatically, because of finals and my game getting much further in progress...

Not only nyctosaurus was new today, meet one of the most fearsome predators that ever stalked this earth, locked in an eternal david-vs-goliath battle with sauroposeidon: Acrocanthosaurus atokensis, the high-spined lizard and true king of early cretaceous texas!

The first release of this mod is planned to come out within the next 2 to 4 days! It's taken a while, but we are finally here! There will be a video going out 1 or 2 days before the public release. However, this is just a TRIAL version of the mod, which means that it's basically there to "show off" some of the mobs being added for the first release.
The animations also haven't been added yet, and there are a few reasons for this; mainly because we don't want to release them just yet (we would prefer to have most, if not all done at once) - rest assured our Animator is hard at work!
Biomes/Dimensions are also still a work in progress. Additionally, the laptop GUI has been disabled for this trial release! This item is still being worked on and will join the mod sometime in the future.

Anyway, a link to the video will be posted here when a release is upon the world! For now enjoy this "TRIAL" version/mob show-off!! Take care!

PS: Sorry if this first trial version wasn't enough to satisfy you We have been hard at work but unfortunately this new year and this new year of school has hit some of the team hard delaying some of the progress and some of the items/mobs/dimensions that we would have liked to have completed by this time, any who thank you all!

As for the first TRIAL/MOB showing off release, we are still a bit delayed, we had to do a few model/texture revamps which are taking a little longer then expected! But thanks to all who are still with us!
